Hard Promises Lyrics - 1987

[ Buy Hard Promises ]

Well they put me out on the old kings road
I didn't know which way to go
There was people all around wearin' funny lookin' clothes
Some boys, some girls, some i don't know

I didn't know which way to go
I'm a new world boy on the old kings road

Rockabilly music was in the air
I looked in the door, they said "come over here"
They had socks and shirts and underwear
That i'd seen before, but i don't know where

I didn't know which way to go
I'm a new world boy on the old kings road

A pakistani man said "listen here
Let me fix you up before you go back there
You can't get 'em in the usa
Not in new york, not in west la"
I thought about it, said " i don't know
I'm a new world boy on the old kings road
